Self isolation in the hills sounds good

Solo outdoor recreation is permitted......

We were planning a quiet trip out this weekend with the kids. Will be 3 hours from home but won’t see anyone. I wonder if it’s still allowed.

Nope, only solo outdoor trips is my understanding.

people can leave their home for fresh air and for exercise, but it must be solitary and people should only spend time with people they are in self-isolation with.

Anyone have more clarity on pods? I believe a household is a pod and you can go out with your pod members but cannot cross contaminate. HOWEVER, a solo person may join a pod. DOn;t quote me on that, I read something about it and now can't find it. Help required. Also I really want to go out and hunt.. anyone braved this yet?

The message is very loud and clear that hunting is not permitted. But apparently that hasn’t got through to you. Hopefully it has now.

Only those fortunate enough to own and reside on a substantial chunk of rural real estate will be getting any hunting done in the next 4 weeks.

I guess if you do you are then stuck with that pod for the duration, anything else is just a disease liability.

If your isolating with your children you’ll be ok

Well spotted.

I wonder if “we are just off to do the shopping” will be a good enough excuse?
I mean, it is for food....

I'm currently building my own place in town and will want to continue driving in from where I live to work on my own at my own place. I wonder if that will exempt me from this carry on.
I wish there was clearer and more specific information.
If not I'm gonna saddle up the pony and hit the hills while it's still nice and warm.

I'm in a similar situation in some ways - I don't share my office with anyone else at the moment, as long as I'm doing office work rather than going out to do field work (surveyor) I'm isolated whether I work from home or the office.

If I work from home I just have to take a work computer and a bunch of files there to do it, without achieving any more safety or isolation. But I doubt they will put any flexibility into the rules, it will be black and white and they won't want to spend any time deciding whats justified and what isn't.

I think if i was going down south hunting is different to going local to get a meat animal
